Austin’s funky college-town ambiance will be shattered by the (distant) screams of Formula One racing in November. 300,000 visitors are expected for the US Grand Prix on the weekend of Nov 16-18 at at Circuit of the Americas, still under construction in Travis County. The city of Austin is helping businesses prepare with $10 workshops on August 22 and 28 at City Hall; participants will each receive a “Texas Charm, Global Appeal” window sticker. Unlike Cowboys Stadium, Formula One has not as yet announced an ambitious contemporary art program to accompany the event.

In April I tried to purchase 2 seats for my son and my self to the F 1 race.

Tickest office told us NO WITH OUT PURCHASING A 5 YEAR PSL. at a cost of $ 4800 per seat per year plus the cost of the ticket.
OUCH that hurts.
To the Course of America …………..Good luck you will not be seeing the two of us there
